It sure sounds like it Arguably it's not a good idea to create a user that has the create process level token privilige, as which the inetd service will run, so that it can setuid /AND/ access shares... I think i'll just keep local copies of .rhosts as part of the installation procedure... *sigh* > Should be in /var/log/inetd.log or the Windows Event Log (Application). /var/log/inetd.log contains spawn info for the rlogind process, but not much more... As for the event log, it contains somewhat sparse info. Maybe this is a configuration problem? Should all syslogish output really be directed to the event log? (not that rlogin is very helpful in it's logging... =P) > If by "promiscuous" you mean "persistent", go to the Service Control > Manager and set Startup Type for the "inetd" service to "Automatic". promiscuous mode, in pam's rlogin auth lib, means that the '+' wild cards are OK. By default, on most distributions, unless the word 'promiscuous' is in one of it's options, these pluses are disregarded. I haven't reached the stage where i've figured out whether this is really required or not... ;-) -- Yuval Kogman, Sysadmin HyperRoll Israel, Ltd. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
